Walked into a Waterstones the other day and loved the variety and range of boardgames they had there.
Immediately started fantasising about owning my own board game café, maybe called Dice and Doughnuts.

I love the brain's capacity to fool itself.
Made a cup of hot chocolate just now, and it looked a lot like instant coffee.
So much so that I could actually smell it.
The daft thing is: since covid, my sense of smell is shot. That cup smelled stronger of coffee than a real cup would have done.

A thief discovers she can use newly-returned magic, but when she accidentally 💀 a man with it, she’s dragged into the service of the king and must train alongside other emerging mages - hard to do when she’s vowed to never care about anyone again.

You know it's going to be "one of those days" when you urgently need to print something, yet the printer (1) can't connect to WiFi; (2) has run out of ink; (3) the black ink isn't printing anything at all.

Just saw a new book from an indie author I like.
Paperback version is £18.99.
Now, am I just being tight, or does that seem really expensive for a paperback?

Nuclear war devastated the world. Now, decades later, those countries that can have been rebuilding, keeping themselves isolated to prevent another war.
Not that it stops spies, though.
But what happens when one such spy falls in love with his mark?

I see #StarCitizen is planning a massive update tomorrow, followed by a Free Fly event (where anyone can try it for a few days free).
Historically for them, big updates never work straight away, and Free Fly events get so bogged down that servers go down like the Titanic.
Both at the same time?

I love urban/ #scifi #fantasy, but find it a bit dull when they rely too much on medieval weaponry all the time.
Which is one reason why I wrote The Magic Circle.
Yes, there's magic, shapeshifters, and supernatural forces, but there's also laser drones, spy gadgets, and haptic shields.
